Chief Jones now has the rabbit‘s foot and saystimtitisjnstasluckyasanybody mitisputthatnoonewtalwky Acting on the principle that hitting thb illicit liquor business at the source or supply is good procedure, Chief H. Jones, Constable H. Allen of the R. 01 M. P., and Constable Paul of the town force, made " what appears to be an important capture on Wednesday afternoon. Chief Jones has noted the fact that apparently some places in town have been securing a supply of moonshine liquor. and he set out to find the : source or the goods and at- tempt to stop the traffic at its source. As a consequence Chief Jones has been watching the area of bush south of the Hollinger Reserve property and was certain that somewhere in the district he would find an illicit still. On Wed- Vnesaly afternoon Chief Jones and the two constables went out as far as the Hollinger Reserve, which is some four or five miles from town. Frcm there they followed the trail through the bush for three miles, eventually finding the still for which they had made such a stillhunt‘. In a shack in the bush they found. a very complete apparatus for making liquor. They figure the still they seized has a capacity or a quart in ten minutes, or 20 gallons in 24 hours, which would supply quite a demand for moonshine whiskey. With the boiler, distilling and other appara- tus there was a comparatively large quantity of mesh. At thetime of sei- we there would be about 10 gallons in the boiler. There were about seven gallon jugs filled With the “Oh-be-joy- ml stun." all ready to use. Following the usual procedure in such cases the emcee: dumped out the mesh and broke . uptheharrelsinwhich thestufiwas kept. There would be about 120 gal-i lcnsotmashthatwillnowneverbq good liquor.

Mr. Bartleman asked for a refund of $21.84 taxes on a property he said was improperly assessed to him. He point- ed out that this property did not ape pear on his assessment notice but was put on '- his tax bill. There were 120 properties charged to him where there should only be 119. Lot No. 5 was not on the notice of assessment and the title for this lot. was vested in the Crown. He said he had never owned this lot and so should not be asked to pay taxes on it.

Mr. Bartleman said that as the court of revision was over atthattimeandashehadno notice of assessment of this lot he was unable to appeal against, it. He also thought that in case of a citizen ow- ing a. few cents, the town should noti- fy him rather than have him appear as a defaulter. He thought he had been unfairly used and the least the town could do was to refund the payment on taxes referred to. In answer to a ques- ton Mr. Bartleman said that he had agreed to take the Crown lot in ques- tion to help out the Crown Lands Agent who had made a mistake and sold another Bartleman lot on which a man had started to build before the mistake was discovered. Mr. Bartle- man said he did not own this lot and in reality had never owned it as the title had not been given, the man to whom he had passed it on not receiv- ing the title for it. Dr. Honey thought Mr. Bartleman should make a point of seeing whether there were taxes due on lots he sold or purchased, as this was the general procedure. Alter a few‘ comments «by the mayor and Counâ€" cillor Richardson, Mr. Bartleman was told that he should take a matter like this before the court of‘ revision. ONLY TWO FIRES DURING - THE PAST WEEK IN TOWN was nothing for the town to do but charge the lot to Mr. Bartleman who could have appealed to the court of revision.

Rabbi Holtzman is touring Canada, partly on behalf of the Chicago Hebrew Theological College and partly to revive and strengthen the faith in Orthodox Judaism and the Holy Torah. Rabbi Holtzman does, not impress one as a conspicuous personality; rather humpie in appearance and retiring in demeanor, this eminent man does not betray his greatness until he begins to speak. Only then, does his intellect and spiritual force assert itself! Only then, does be virtually mesmerize his audience into a "trance as he reveals in simple eloquence, ”vivid pancramas of life, or brings before you mots .-to prove the greatness of the Torah! For Rab- bi, Holtzman is a staunch supporter of the Jewish religion in its entirety and nottobeconfusedwith anyso-called reform ideas.

St. Mary’s hospital has found it necessary in the last few days to re- strict the number of visitors at the hospital. Only in very special cases are visitors allowed to see patients at the hospital these days and general visiting at the hospital is being dis- couraged. The reason for this is the prevalence in town of colds and other mild illnesses and the desire of the hos- pital authorities to protect the patients from any chance of infection from these sources. The discouraging of visitors to the hospital has given rise to. various rumours that are unfounded. One of these was to the effect that there were so many cases of colds in the hospital among the patients that visitors were discouraged. The very reverse of this is the fact. Agather rumour was that the hospital was quarantined. This also may be termed as about “upside down,” for it is the hospital that is in a manner quarantin- ing the outside for the benefit of the patients. As stated before the whole matter is simply a case of the hospital protecting its patients from danger of infection by common colds. The ar- rangement is only temporary and will be discontinued as soon as the general health in town is normal again. Timmins Stores have Large Stocks of All Sorts of Gifts and Goods.
